Ask yourself what you want out of your occupation: what type of environment would you ngArtisticSocialWHAT ARE YOUR CAREER INTERESTS?The Holland Code is based on Dr. John Holland’s theory that people and work environments can beloosely classified into six different groups. Each of the letters corresponds to one of the six groupsdescribed in the following pages.Different people’s personalities may find different environments more to their liking. While you mayhave some interests in and similarities to several of the six groups, you may be attracted primarily totwo or three of the areas. These two or three letters are your “Holland Code.”Most people, and most jobs, are best represented by some combination of two or three of the Hollandinterest areas. In addition, most people are most satisfied if there is some degree of fit between theirpersonality and their work environment.For more information about occupations related to your Holland code,explore the O*NET website, www.onetonline.org.
